What was an autumnal trundle through October suddenly gathers pace in November as the social run-in to year end becomes a frenzy of parties and events. From formal events to kitchen discos, there's fun everywhere you look, and that means a plethora of opportunities to get dressed up and look glamorous. So we've put together a cheat sheet of sorts for those looking to burn the candle at both ends!
For the men, black tie needn’t mean buttoned-up. At Favourbrook, we take the bones of tradition and loosen the corset. So take the fundaments of black tie tailoring, but give them a cheeky twist in the shape of printed silk dinner jackets, or our dashing velvet creations. You can swap the rigid marcella shirt for a softer, less formal cotton version, worn with a hand-tied bow tie left deliberately askew or ditch the neck furniture altogether and go with an open collar if the occasion allows it. Black tailored trousers with a subtle satin stripe keep the silhouette sharp, but switch out the plain black Oxfords for loafers to signal you’re here to enjoy yourself.
